Hi Matthias! Okay:
In GIFs you can't save how much dpi you specified! GIFs always have 96 DPI. In JPGs you can save the dpi, but FOP doesn't recognize that! All Images are taken as if they have 72 DPI. So if you don't specify a width and height in the external-graphic-Tag a jpg which was saved with 300 DPI will come out larger! So the best is to save the image at 300+ DPI and then specify the width and/or height in xsl:fo. Then the quality will be right! I hope one can understand what I mean. Difficult to explain in english! Christian -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Matthias Fischer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 15.

I paid attention to create all graphics in Photoshop in exactly the size they should have in the pdf, and with 72dpi. The outcome is of poor quality. Now, set apart tif's, lets take gif's, which seem to be the more docile format at the moment. Did your last mail then specifiy that in fo I can set an image height and width successfully, take a 305dpi gif and transform it into a 305dpi picture in pdf, without Cocoon (FOP) watering it down to 72dpi and re-sizing it to multiples of the set dimensions?
